Dating back to 1889, the Earl of Bandon gifted this property to the Church of Ireland to accommodate the local school teacher. Still with many of its original features and character, this beautiful Victorian residence is refreshing and has so much to offer.
Today, 'Teachers Residence' has been extended and upgraded to modern living standards whilst being respectful of its historic roots. The property itself has a south facing aspect. It benefits from a generous sheltered garden and patio areas with mature trees and shrubs, all enjoying fabulous countryside views with Mount Gabriel to the South West.
Upon entering through the original front door, you are greeted with original floor tiles and once inside, wonderfully high ceilings are revealed. Fantastic placement of windows contributes to the light, bright and airy feel of this property.
